Check Out The Insanity on Lowe's Facebook Page Following Muslim Spat

Lowe's has a giant headache this morning as its Facebook page has filled up with more than 9,000 comments from people aggressively debating whether the the big box home improvement retailer was right to pull its ads from All American Muslim, a reality show on TLC that shows Muslim families in Dearborn, Mich., going about their humdrum, non-terrorist lives. A naive person might assume that Lowe's decision to advertise (or not) on a little-watched cable TV show was nobody's business but Lowe's. But no. It is, of course, a referendum on the very Soul of America. Are we a nation of god-fearing Christians who need to wake up the un-American Islamic threat? Or are we a nation of bigots who need to realize that a reality show about what it's like to live with your extended family when you're in your 30s is not a threat to the Constitution?

"The show profiles only Muslims that appear to be ordinary folks while excluding many Islamic believers whose agenda poses a clear and present danger to liberties and traditional values that the majority of Americans cherish."

There is no rational reason why Lowe's has been singled out as the center of this firestorm. In fact there are several companies that are declining to advertise on All-American Muslim, including arch-rival Home Depot.

Yet Home Depot's Facebook page is currently devoted to a "debate" about your favorite DIY holiday decoration, and not -- like Lowe's -- whether Muslims are the enemy within. (And, just to rub it in, Home Depot is using the word "holidays" and not "Christmas.") Here's a sampling of the insane maelstrom that has engulfed the Wall of Lowe's Facebook account:

Melinda Hall: The point is, you caved to a group of fear-mongering bigots.Curt Hjellum: so basically a small christian group is trying to get the show pulled from the air by convincing companies not to advertise on it. What is American about that? Sounds like Communism to me.Connie N Heitz: Most of those who say they will not shop at Lowe's will still shop there.James Smith: Remember 911. Thank GOD that Lowes is a true American business. More should follow and anyone that does promote their business on that show will never get my $ again.Kelly McCosh Wosahla: Laughing at all the typos and inappropriate punctuation/capitalization by the "Americans" who are rabidly supporting Lowe's decision. Embarrassed by it all...Brent Ruple: Going today to do business with you guys. This United States of the offended has got to stop. Its a shame that we have to blame everything on race,color or religion.Robert Nathan Leslie Collins: Isn't it funny that the ones who have American flags in their profiles tend to be the most despicable, ignorant bigots who are nothing but a drain on America?Cindy Plaisance Maddux: Thank you, Lowes for pulling your advertising dollars from a program that is nothing more than propaganda to acclimate America (even further) into believing that Islam is good and we should accept it.
